Delancey Street Restaurant

I had lunch with my family last Tuesday, 25 years after my last visit when I lived in the area. The food was outstanding, a lovely Reuben sandwich and fried buttermilk chicken burger. We really appreciated Michael’s great service, conversation and his interest in our travels from Australia. We finished off with a Herbie’s chocolate sundae, which was fantastic! A great story, great food and great atmosphere. A must visit for anyone travelling to San Francisco.

Lovely spot for a tasty (and quite affordable) meal with a strong mission. Delancey Street Restaurant is run by one of SF’s oldest halfway houses and serves as a way for people re-entering society to reacclimate to work and build up their resume. The staff (all of whom are residents at the halfway houses) are all outstanding and super friendly, and the food is delicious. I will admit that their meat-based options are better than the vegetarian / seafood options, so it’s an especially good deal if you enjoy your meats. I visited Delancey Street Restaurant for dinner with a few friends and we split their onion strings, roasted shishito peppers, scallops, crab cakes, Singaporean noodles with tofu, and Moroccan vegetable stew. The onion strings are a Delancey classic — unlike traditional onion rings, they’re cut into thin strips (strings, as the name suggests), which makes them extra crispy when fried. The shishito peppers are also amazing and are perfectly roasted, especially when topped with a squeeze of lemon. The entrees are all amazing, although, again, the meat-based ones are their specialty for a reason. Of the four entrees we tried, my favorite had to be the scallops — the scallops were beautifully seared, with a nice crunchy exterior shell and super tender center. The scallops were served on top of a mix of roasted corn and chickpeas, which was also super tasty. I loved the sweet pops of corn, especially with the added smokiness from the charring, and the chickpeas were a great bit of added protein and starch. The portions are also really generous, so you’ll definitely leave here happy and full.

Ate here with my family and we loved it! Our server, Michael, was extremely friendly and accommodated all our wishes. I really appreciated their great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes and I've never seen a dessert menu this long (though unfortunately none of us had any room left after our main courses). My personal favorite was the arugula beet salad with blue cheese and pistachios. The scallops were also amazing (especially the bed of corn and chickpeas they were served on). Prices were great too, especially considering the real table cloth and cloth napkins. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in San Francisco.

This is a nice family restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating overlooking the inner Bay and the Bay Bridge close to the Embarcadero. The service is really good. The staff will help you out. The bread is really good. They serve wine, beer and cocktails. The menu has a good array of choices. I ordered the grilled salmon, prawns and, to my surprise pecan pie. Everything was as expected. I recommend the roast chicken. Anyway, if you want a lively and peaceful dining experience, chose this place!

My bestfriend and I decided to go here spontaneously because we were spending the day in San Francisco and we were overwhelmingly surprised at how delicious, professional, and well priced everything was! We tried the mussels and scallops and you really can’t get a better deal and excellent customer service. We had both Michael’s (Michael J and Michael C) chat with us us and everything was very positive and they were wonderful. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a beautiful interior and delicious meal 😋🤩

Jumped out for a weekend in the Bay Area to hang with my kid and catch a Giants Game. We walked forever and found Delancey Street. Great story about this restaurant as it was established to help those who are reintegrating into society. There are definitely NOT enough programs like this. Great open space with a very comfy patio for outdoor dining. Service was very good as our waiter and the entire crew were very attentive. The Buffalo burger was good more flavorful than spicy. The Fried Buttermilk Chicken was tremendous and the aioli tasty but not spicy. Great food and a great time. Wish there was something like this in our town as I’d do my best to become a part of it.

First time coming here. The food and service was great! Prices were great and had the best waitress! Portion size was amazing for the price. Would definitely come back when I’m in the area!

In town from GA, Brother was in the Hospital. He was discouraged and suggested we have lunch here. What a beautiful, relaxing spot to enjoy your meal. Right across the street from the Bay. There is plenty of parking, close to transit and ferry. Staff were very professional and very friendly. Inside and outside dining. We sat outside and just enjoyed the warm sunshine and cool breeze. The menu, well, there's something for everyone. The portions are extremely filling. The price was very reasonable. I do believe you can bring your 4-legged friend as well if you dine outside. Of course, there are no restrictions for service dogs. You got to check this place out, breakfast lunch, or dinner. Also, take the time to read about the history of this remarkable establishment. To the entire staff, keep up the great work. Thank you for what you have done in the past and what you are doing.

Brunch before the Game ! So if you're in recovery or other things like that you probably know about Delancey Street Foundation. This is a place that takes people out of prison and teaches them how to live life again, also takes people off the streets to recover from drug abuse. This is their San Francisco restaurant that's so so good. Everyone working here is changing their life's. Also the prices are unbelievably reasonable. You can get stuff here for $10 to $15 that would cost you $30 to $50 in other places. I just had 26yrs clean on Aug 13, 2025. If any of you guy that are here living & learning read this. You can also do this. I went from a garbage pale drug addict doing the Jails, Institutions, & Death (ODing more then once) ! To a member of society that owned my own business, raised a daughter on my own, & has a real comfortable life ! There has been many bumps in the road. But I made it. Thank You Everyone here at Delancy Street ! You Rule ! PS....our waiter ruled !

Absolutely solid classic American Diner breakfast, however the whole aesthetic of the restaurant felt very fancy and upscale which was unexpected considering the insanely reasonable prices. I haven't seen a sit down this affordable and our service was amazing. All the workers were very personable and willing to help. Was it the best breakfast I've ever had? Probably not but I have to rate this place extremely high considering the bang for your buck as a man who loves a good deal, especially in SF. Mimosa was great too. 4.3/5

I love this place and have been here a number of times over the years. This time we stopped by for a late breakfast before the Giants game. I had straight up bacon and eggs and my cousin had a steak and eggs. Everything was fresh, the coffee was great and our server was super friendly and attentive. The prices here are really reasonable and the portions are good. I absolutely love their mission and I encourage anyone nearby to try it out!

Came for dinner before the SF Giant game on a random Tuesday night. Read about their mission and wanted to support them! It was too windy/chilly to sit outside so we sat inside the huge labyrinth of a restaurant. Decked in fresh flowers, tablecloths, servers dressed up, and "old school vibes", I wasn't sure we could afford to eat here. I was quickly proven wrong with the very affordable prices! Service was professional and efficient. Food ranged in enjoyment, with my patty melt being the best thing we ate. I had an affinity for the bagel chips! It reminded me of high days and buying a bag of them at the cafeteria. Patty melt was perfectly cooked, nice and cheesy, not greasy. The sweet potato fries were just what one would hope for when ordering those. Crispy an salted! Desserts ordered - apple crip and another I forget the name of....but it was cheesecakey and snickery and delicious! The apples probably could've used another 10-15 mins of baking as they were quite al dente but the cinnamon-y flavory was nice. For growth purposes: 2 people ordered the fish and chips and both felt the same - the fish was *much* too soft, wrong type of fish for this preparation. A firmer fish like cod is necessary to hold up to the batter and frying for "fish and chips." Pan frying other fishes for piccata or similar is fine but not for this. Maybe it was an off day but it was terrible. Overall, a wonderful cause, a positive experience and would encourage everyone to support them.

Saltimbocca tasted the same every bite, dessert was standard. Nothing stands out on the menu but seemed healthy. Home made ginger beer was quite strong

Came for brunch before the SF Giant game in early Spring. The inside is huge and very classy. We wanted to sit outside for the fair weather, and got the best seat in the house at the most North corner, closest to the Bay Bridge. Bloody Mary and Ginger Beer - both were very tasty and gave a strong kick. Makes this meal an official brunch. Ruben Sandwich was generous with meat and cheese, definitely a hardy sandwich. Mushroom and cheese omelette was par for me. Overall a wonderful experience and would love to come again.

I love their ambiance, it has a very good view of the Bay Bridge. The commute is super easy as it is right in front of the Brannan Muni stop. They have an outdoor seating option too. We had the Soicy Crispy Chickpeas which were very good. And we had the Singapore Veg Noodles w Tofu (but they didn't have any tofu), it was good, had a lot of veggies as described but I didn't think it was spicy at all for my palette and my friend had the Vegan/ Veg Oaxacan Bowl. I liked her dish better, especially the Pecans were so good and it was very flavourful dish for me. We also got the tiramisu which was nice. They have good portions and the staff was very attentive and polite. Would definitely go again.

We found out about this place after a random stranger stopped us in Golden Gate Park and told us about it. He said he highly recommended it for the quality of food that you get for the price. What he didn't tell us about is its fantastic mission: the restaurant is a training school of the Delancey Street Foundation, the country's largest self-help residential organization for people who have hit rock bottom to completely rebuild their lives. Tips are considered donations, and all restaurant proceeds after food costs go directly to house, feed and clothe their residents and teach skills, values and attitudes needed for a successful drug-free and crime-free life in the mainstream society at no cost to taxpayers! Wow! We were warmly welcomed when we walked in and directly shown to a table. It was approaching lunch time and the place was just starting to get busy. Our server was a friendly and hardworking! My husband and I enjoyed our hearty lunches. Mine was grilled cheese and tomato soup which came with potatoes/home fries and a pickle. My husband had a grilled chicken breast sandwich. For reasonably priced, tasty food while supporting a great cause, we highly recommend Delancey Street Restaurant.

Stopped there for lunch today. The special was fish and chips and I couldn't resist. Perfectly crispy cod and piping hot fries. I asked for coleslaw because I felt guilty about not eating veg. It occurs to me that if you're ever on this side of town, this restaurant is a great place for a casual, quiet business lunch. And you feel good about their mission and bringing folks back to society after incarceration.

I had the waffles with an omelet, house potatoes, and toast! The waffles were not soft/soggy, it was crispy and not hard or too dense. The omelet was cooked just right. The potatoes were baked to be soft on the inside had mild garlic seasoning. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere felt inviting. The location made it even better with that beautiful bay breeze.

Gosh it's been a few years, 15 years? Where did the years go? Walked from Ferry Building among the Giants fan going to the game against the Nationals. We lost 4-2 , but it was a gorgeous day out for a walk. We were heading to Town's End but saw Delancey Street. Fond memories. We sat and sat and sat. No water, no attention. That proved to be our entire experience. 4 stars for believing in their program and the food was good, but 3 stars for the experience of waving down seevers to get their attention. One server was more hard working then the original guy who took our orders. The table next to us came after us got their food faster. Go figure. Each time we needed something, we had to wave someone down. We exercised our arms and watched for the rare sighting of a server. Eventually we got our drinks, our water, bagel slices, and butter. We had to ask about our entrees. No bueno when the other people are enjoying their brisket sandwich ($12), which was good except it had a lot of fat. The breakfast potatoes with pepper were good. The fried chicken sandwich had way too much mayonnaise cole slaw. Not good. Had we known we would have asked for no cole slaw at all. The chicken was crispy. The prices was amazingly cheap in today's standards. We splurged on a slice of pecan pie ($5.95). At first glance, I was afraid it was super sweet. But tastewise, it was a pecan custard pie, not too sweet. I had a passion fruit ice tea. Drank 3 glasses waiting for our food. All the ice melted which shows you how long we were there. People came and went. We were not in a hurry. I sang two Happy Birthday songs. I enjoyed the AC. Kept watching the parade of Giants fans walk to the game. Such loyal fans all decked in orange and black. Go Giants.

Anna was a great server. My party and I were sat immediately and service was prompt. Food was delicious, my whole table absolutely enjoyed every bite. The chocolate mousse was amazing. Definitely worth checking out. Good prices too especially for a restaurant on the Embarcadero with such a beautiful view of the bridge. Although it may seem fancy casual clothes are just fine. Thanks again, I will definitely be returning.

Extra points for mission. Food always reliable, service usually entertaining. Always a great spot to (1) commiserate after a Giants loss, or (2) celebrate a Giants win. Great neighborhood spot, excellent patio with great bridge view.

This place is awesome. They must have some kind of deal with the city to be to charge the low prices they do. They've a program where they give people 2nd chances to work there, our waiter was a prior convict. Super cool program and we found all the service to be great and the food really stellar. I had the tuna melt and it was super tasty. Would absolutely come back.

What a great Mission! I'd come to eat here even if the food wasn't good just to support them. We had no idea what we were walking in to. The inside is fancy, I felt under dressed just coming from a Giants game. Outside seating was also nice. The service was great. I could tell our server was getting a little overwhelmed because the patio was full. The price of the food was almost unbelievable. The presentation made it feel fancy as well. Yes, it did take sometime to receive our food, and my sons was forgotten. Once I read the back of the menu and learned about the mission, I had a little more patience's and grace for the staff. They were all great and you could tell they all were trying their best. We will definitely be back to support this place.

I love this place. Not only is the food FANTASTIC, but the prices are super reasonable (cheap by SF standards), the service is kind and attentive, and the location is gorgeous--right by the water with tons of parking and just off the N. It's formal enough inside to take a date, but casual enough to totally get away with jeans and a t-shirt. It's also a nice place to sit and chat while you eat--there's no loud music or people ushering you out quickly to turn over the table. MUST GET: tomato soup, arugula beet salad, butterscotch pudding, ginger bread (it's a ginger cake). I'm a vegetarian, but my meat-eating sister recommends the lamb shank, lamb burger, and the meatloaf. I bring a lot of out-of-towners here, since I know it'll be a great experience through and through. I only wish they had that focaccia available throughout the day, instead of just during dinner.

Always a nice local place with reasonable prices. Service is good and always a great place before an SF Giants game.

Love the concept of this restaurant and the support given to folks who need to have some help to learn some skills that they can use to survive. That being said, I would definitely come back to give them as much business as possible. Service was great considering that everyone working there is being trained on the job. The waiters (all male) were very accommodating and polite. A few missteps, but nothing major. Now about the food. Everyone seemed to be happy with what they ordered. I don't think any of it was high end dining, but it was certainly worth the price and then some! I had the steak and eggs for $14.95. It came with country potatoes, a thin cut ribeye steak, and two eggs, which I had over easy. It was certainly enough food and very enjoyable, but the steak was a bit more cooked than I liked. One dining companion had a huge burger that looked juicy and delicious; it came with country potatoes, and all the fixings. The prices of all the dishes couldn't be beat. Grilled salmon was $19.95. Instead of bread and butter on the table, they had bagel chips and butter; so addicting! They were very generous with the refills on the bagel chips, too. They even gave us a cup of their clam chowder to sample with as many spoons as we needed for everyone at the table; I know what I'll be ordering next time I go! I will definitely be back. Great prices, great concept, and great service!

I absolutely loved this place! Clean, fancy and servers are super friendly and attentive. The food delicious, best beers and prices are super reasonable. There's so much to say about Delancey street but I think the word AMAZING explains it all! THANK YOU DELANCEY!

Classy ambiance, clean restaurant, employees are all polite, attentive, and dressed very well. Incredibly reasonable prices on a wide variety of dishes, appetizers, soups and salads. Really enjoyed my visit and absolutely will be back again! Daniel, Efrain, and Victor were so kind and just all around positive professional attitudes. Victor was incredibly attentive and the best service I have experienced in a restaurant in years. The Manager, and the lady bar tender were also very kind and ensured satisfaction. Loved the meatloaf, mashed potatoes were superb, green beans tasty! The potato latkes were so good! To the point I saved most of my dinner! Now for desert, and what an amazing variety here as well! The old fashioned Hot Fudge sundae looks like the old ice cream shops big portion! I am going to try the crème brûlée or the chocolate mousse! With the hand whipped cream of course! Such an incredible program, Delancy Street. You can see what miracles these people truly are, and the real lasting impact Delancy Street has had in their lives. Absolutely will be back soon! Parking is easy which is rare in San Francisco, indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful! Leaving Delancy Street Restaurant I have a full heart and tummy Five Stars for sure! Reminds me of the fancy restaurants my father would take me too in late 1980's and early 1990's when service, attention, and good food was still a thing! Now they have dimmed the lights and it is so romantic an

Five stars for mission, but the food, service and value are outstanding and also worth the five stars. I've known about this place since I moved to the Bay Area and have walked by so many times, but finally stopped in and I'm so glad I did. The menu is fantastic with lots of hearty, comfort food (I had the meatloaf), the service is amazing and the portions (including wine pours) are very generous. If you're not aware, the entire restaurant is staffed by people who are recovering from all sorts of life traumas, e.g., prison, drugs, abuse, etc. and have made new lives for themselves thanks to the people who founded and run the organization that supports the restaurant. That alone is why you should come here, but for sure, the entire experience is totally worth it.

Good bang for your buck - it's a classic American dinner with the aesthetic of a classy restaurant. Prices were great and food came out quick. I got down with the complimentary bagel chips that they give you and the Eggs Benedict wasn't bad

Great little breakfast spot with really cheap prices. Typical diner vibes but the staff is very nice and wholesome. I would say you are getting what you pay for in terms of food, it's not amazing food but it does the job and is worth the price! Mimosa was the only thing I got a picture of which was good but u also had the eggs Benedict and I really enjoyed that as well!

Affordable price, amazing vibes (indoor and outdoor), terrific view of the bay bridge, and friendly staff! The business idea behind this is also amazing - it's operated by a foundation dedicated to rebuild people's lives. Make sure to check out its history. I'll definitely try to come back whenever I'm nearby. Minestrone soup was great and heartwarming. Seafood jumbo was also great!

We arrived right at 10am when they opened and were seated right away. Marco got us drinks promptly and accommodated our requests for vegan modifications. Great staff and a gorgeous restaurant 12/10 will always recommend

Amazing spot for group dining. They allow you to make reservations beforehand, and they were really accommodating when we needed to adjust the number last minute. When we got there, the tables was setup really nicely - flowers in vases, bread and butter at every section, and utensils set. We had ~15 people here for brunch, and everything came out relatively quickly. For how popular this spot is and considering that we're in SF, the food was priced really affordably. I got the Southwestern chicken hash, and the flavors went together very well but it was very underseasoned (thankfully fixed it with some salt at the table). Will probably go back to try some other dishes.

Visited for a work trip and they were able to accommodate all 17 of us with a reservation at 5:45. Love this mission for this place. The servers were very friendly and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed regularly. The restaurant was spacious and had a lot of windows which gave it a really nice atmosphere. They have a limited drink menu and only offer certain cocktails, but they have a decent wine selection. I did not like my pesto pasta dish. It looked nice but it was bland, a tad watery and too al dente for my taste. That said, many of my coworkers liked their dishes, particularly those that got a salad or a fish dish. All in all it was a decent experience because the venue and staff were so nice but I would certainly try a different meal next time.

This is the nicest little gem in SF. The only issue I have is that I seem to always show up on a Monday even though I am well aware they are always closed on Mondays. My bad! The food is consistently good. There isn't much atmosphere, but it is a nice, non touristy local spot.

We've lived by here for a bit and I've always wanted to try. Came on a Saturday morning for brunch (ok it was more like noon) and I am so pleased! First and foremost, the staff is great. Professional servers and good speed. I'm happy to support this organization and those who they impact! Second, the prices are surprisingly less expensive than normal! We got two full dishes and drinks for $36! This is less than what we spent on a very expensive bagel place in the city that will not be named. This feels like the prices I remember from like a decade ago and how I wish all food prices were at restaurants. Third, flavor was very good and in line with expectations. Their bagel chips they bring the table for free were surprisingly addictive. I only managed to take a picture when there was one left because I had eaten at least three before thinking about it .. my eggs benedict was delicious. Good thick ham/Canadian bacon. Yummy sauce (probably from the premix, but I am not complaining because it's a hit every time). The addition of an olive on top was an interesting choice. The breakfast potatoes were great. My only request would be that the mix of peppers should be chopped smaller. These look like and probably are the stuff they use on sandwiches and the like. Totally fine, but for breakfast potatoes it's nice to have finer diced veggies to get each flavor in every bite of potato. My partner's omelet was also yummy. Eggs were nice and fluffy and not overcooked. No hot sauce outside of tobasco. For the first two reasons alone, it's enough to recommend this place to everyone and bring family when they come to visit. But the food being good makes it even better and easier to say yes to becoming a regular to support this institution. All around great job!

I went for steak and eggs, the steak was paper thin. This was my second time going in two days, I went yesterday for lunch and had the full rack of baby back ribs and they were dry, if for the barbecue sauce I would of asked for something else. This place is no different from going to Denny's. The wait staff are very friendly and that was the only reason I went back.

Came here on GameDay and surprised there were seats available. Well I ordered the crab cakes and they were so dry, so much fillers. Makes since why no one was here. Hard pass!

This place is wonderful. Great service and delicious food. My blintzes for brunch were delicious and the portions are huge. The fact that they are all about helping people to turn their lives around is amazing. I want to go back for dinner next time! Our server was attentive and great. Food came out right away and best part, it's reasonable. Especially for SF and the Bay Area!

3-course Creole meal started with fried pickles w/sauce & they were very delicious, crunchy & well seasoned. The lightly fried chicken was slightly crunchy on the outside and tender to taste with grilled corn-on-the-cob follow by sweet potato pie for desert. I was oh so full with a few pieces of chicken for lunch the next day The ambiance of the restaurant is always so elegantly prepared & the price was very affordable. Take your special someone here to impress!!

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time here ! The food was delicious, the ambience was perfect, and our server, Francis, was amazing, attentive, friendly, and made our night even better. We definitely recommend dining here !! :)

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to report an unpleasant experience I had at the Delancey Street Restaurant at 600 Embarcadero Street involving a host named James on April 4, 2025. I arrived at 6:00 PM for dinner and was seated behind the host desk next to a loud, rowdy group of sports fans who had just attended a game at Oracle Stadium. I politely asked James if we could be moved to a quieter table. He offered us a table outdoors on the patio. However, when my dinner guest arrived, strong gusts of wind began blowing our napkins and menus off the table. We were clearly uncomfortable and requested to move indoors. James appeared annoyed and visibly irritated. His response was, "I hope this is the last time," before reluctantly escorting us to an indoor table. As a senior citizen and a donor to the Delancey Foundation, I was both intimidated by his imposing presence and deeply disappointed by his disrespectful and dismissive behavior. His demeanor came across as hostile and unwelcoming, which was not only inappropriate but also inconsistent with the values I associate with the Delancey Street Foundation. I believe James would greatly benefit from additional training on how to treat all patrons--especially those from diverse backgrounds--with courtesy, dignity, and respect. Sincerely, A Concerned Patron and Supporter of the Delancey Street Foundation

Very nice restaurant. Food is delicious & very affordable! The decor is welcoming. Make a delicious Latte! Love it. Not noisy which is a Plus!!! I'll go anytime! Their thin toast is delicious- I always ask for more yummy The staff waiters are so friendly and dressed with their white shirt & black pants. Sharp & Clean. Should check them out for a good meal! Afterwards walk across the street & see the Bay & beautiful view of the East Bay especially on a beautiful day!

Holiday Lunch for five friends is convivial and easily organized with its comfortable ambiance and excellent service. The menu satisfies everyone - a good value for senior budgets; Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, Reuben sandwich, Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese sandwich, Cold Smoked Trout & Salmon Platter, Patty Melt.

Came for dinner purely to get some appetizers to close off our night - everything was great! I loved the calamari, salmon potato bites, and crispy onions in particular. The staff were very attentive and gave us plenty of recommendations as new comers. The restaurant itself is very well maintained as well

That Delancey Reuben was PHENOMENAL!!! Thanks so much to the kitchen staff, absolutely hit the spot! Our water server, Michael, is noteworthy to mention. He was really personable and helpful. I highly recommend ordering the Reuben sandwich with fries. It was so moist! And the MADE FRESH DAILY focaccia bread didn't disappoint! I totally understand why my mom loves Delancey Street Restaurant. The restaurant is as kept up as it can be, I'm sure rent is steep while I enjoyed the few intimate restaurant goers, it would be so fun to have a party here one day (soon). The only downside is the parking situation. But it was totally better than ballpark food. Thanks so much you guys! Loved how clean the bathrooms were also. If you can't stand crowds, I suggest going on a weekday. I dropped in on Thursday, 6/20/24, around 3:10pm. Looove it!!

I had dinner here last week after the ballet and it was wonderful as always. I used to live right down the block on Townsend and the Embarcadero, and hadn't actually been back for a long time. But they were still the same, their staff is delightful. I love their mission and I'm always happy to support that. The food is plentiful and a good quality, and reasonably priced for what you get. Highly recommend this restaurant for all the usual reasons to recommend a restaurant plus the fact that you are helping people move on and learn new skills so they can support themselves going forward. It is a beautiful concept.

Fantastic prices. Excellent choice of food and desserts and sides and drinks. Sometimes there is a little challenge with communication between the staff, so seating is delayed or getting a waiter is delayed. But I often stop in before a Giants game for a hearty meal.

After years of learning about this restaurant and their great mission! I finally got the opportunity to dine here! We had a work offsite event nearby, so we made a reservation for 11 for lunch. The restaurant was very nice/fancy! I didn't know!!! The menu was huge! Certainly had something for everyone and the best of all the prices were low, crazy low for the area! They had lot for variety of sandwiches both cold and hot for lunch, everything was between $8-$15! Most were $11...came with a side too! Wow! Salads were under $10 wow!! They also had lunch entrees but our group mostly ordered sandwiches and salads. I had the huge buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries for $11.95 I'm a big eater and I couldn't finish my food! So big!!! So filling and oh my soooo delicious! The fried chicken was juicy and huge!! Just like the menu name! Everyone seems happy with their food! The service was a bit slow, but probably because were a larger group dining at the busy lunch hours! The servers were all nice and polite..we certainly felt like dining in a fine dining place, at a fraction of the costs! If you're looking for a place to eat in the area, either solo, with companions or as a group, I certainly recommend this restaurant!

I have never been here - and was unaware of its mission, which is to rehabilitate the unhoused, former substance abusers and those who have served time in prison. I was also unaware that this place is a non-profit, so the meals are subsidized and pretty inexpensive (for SF anyway). 5 of us met for brunch on a Sunday - and sat outside with beautiful views of the bay. The service can be a little uneven, but the servers are learning a trade, so it is fine. Expect to wait a bit for things, especially on busy days like Giants games. I had the winner meal of the table, the fried chicken sandwich. It was a huge sandwich, the chicken was VERY crispy, served with slaw on a bun. I would say the bun could have been a tad fresher, but the chicken was so good, it could be forgiven. I would have preferred the sweet potato fries, but not available for brunch. The potatoes were forgettable. Also, the website is a little annoying, it is not Mobile-optimized, and there is no menu to be found, so if you are looking for a menu - your best bet is to just check the Yelp menu photos.

What an incredible place!The Ambiance and decor were stunning. The menu options were endless, definitely something for everyone. The staff were all super friendly and went out of there way to make you feel at home. Our server Will was outstanding! And the dessert selections.... We will be back soon. And often!

This was a wonderful experience. We were greeted by a wonderful young server Will. He was attentive and funny. Our food was delicious and well presented. Can't wait for next time!!!!

Fantastic spot! A friend told us about it and about the mission and history of Delancey street and we knew we had to come. Randy was our server and was phenomenal and our food was delicious!! From the looks of it as we were walking by, it looks like it could be another pretentious SF restaurant that is has decent food but is over priced but this place really has reasonable food prices, the staff and the food were very fantastic, and again just the history of this place and the work that it strives to do is heartwarming and fantastic. Definitely recommend!

Amazing staff and such good prices on delicious food! The restaurant is very welcoming and perfect for groups! A lot of menu options too

My uncle and I dined here back in August '23. We both wanted to dine here given the Delancey Street Foundation and their mission. It was also on the way to Oracle park when taking the Vallejo ferry to Giants games! We were sat promptly and our service was great! There was a few hiccups with our order, but it didn't bother us much at all. We shared a Cobb salad and a BLT sandwich. Both were delicious and I'd go back
